To ensure a high standard of academic engagement and professional delivery, presenters are expected to adhere to the following guidelines when preparing for and delivering their oral presentations at the Summit.
Poster presentations have emerged as a valuable format for scholarly exchange at academic summits, enabling dynamic interaction between researchers and participants. To ensure clarity, professionalism, and visual coherence, all poster presenters are required to adhere to the following specifications and recommendations
Specifications for Poster Presentations
– Dimensions: Posters must be designed to fit within one side of a 3.5 ft x 2.5 ft PVC board. Oversized posters will not be accommodated.
– Poster Number: Each poster will be assigned a board number. This number must be placed in the upper left-hand corner of the poster and remain visible at all times. A pre-cut number label will be provided.
– Essential Information: Posters must prominently include the title of the abstract, names of the author and co-authors, and the affiliated institution(s).
– Contact Information: Please include the presenting author’s email address, phone number, and fax number (if applicable) in the upper right-hand corner of the poster.
– Abstract Copies: It is recommended to attach printed copies of the abstract on the upper left-hand side of the poster, using clear section headings such as:
• Introduction/Background
• Methods
• Results
• Conclusions
Include your contact information on these copies for interested attendees.
– Schedule & Setup: Refer to your acceptance letter or the final Summit program for your assigned poster session time, location, and set-up schedule.
– Presenter Responsibility: The designated presenter (author or co-author) must be physically present during the assigned poster session to engage with attendees and respond to questions regarding the work.
Tips for Effective Poster Preparation
– Posters should encourage dialogue, not deliver exhaustive details. Keep text concise and prioritize visual elements.
– Provide handouts as supplementary material for attendees seeking more information.
– Ensure that content flows logically and sequentially across sections.
– Use charts and graphs to present data effectively; avoid large tables of raw data.
– Use high-resolution images; low-quality web images may appear pixelated and unprofessional.
– Avoid using all capital letters for extended text as it reduces readability.
– Posters must not be handwritten, typewritten, or printed PowerPoint slides. These formats are unacceptable and will be removed.
Design Consistency & Readability
– Maintain uniform margins, line spacing, and shading throughout the poster.
– Use no more than 2–3 complementary fonts to maintain visual consistency.
– Limit color use to 2–3 cohesive colors that enhance, rather than distract from, content.
– Test your poster’s readability from a distance to ensure clarity for viewers.
To ensure a compelling, professional, and impactful delivery, participants are expected to follow the guidelines below when preparing and presenting their Research Storytelling or Elevator Pitch at the Summit.
– Ensure your pitch clearly communicates the essence of your research idea, journey, proposal, findings, or academic inspiration.
– Focus on clarity, significance, and creativity, making your research accessible to a broad audience.
– Present a clear problem statement, your approach or innovation, and the potential impact of your work.
– Avoid excessive technical jargon—use simple and relatable language.
– Your pitch must be completed within the allocated two-minute timeframe.
– Structure your presentation with a concise opening hook, a clear core message, and a strong closing statement.
– Rehearse multiple times to ensure smooth delivery without rushing or exceeding the time limit.
– Begin with an attention-grabbing opening—such as a question, statistic, or brief anecdote.
– Build a logical flow from problem → solution → impact.
– Use vivid imagery and relatable examples to engage the audience.
– Convey your passion and motivation behind the research.
– Speak with confidence, enthusiasm, and authenticity.
– Maintain eye contact, use purposeful gestures, and project your voice clearly.
– Use natural pauses to emphasize key points and allow the audience to absorb information.
– Keep slides minimal, visually appealing, and free from unnecessary text.
– Use impactful visuals such as images, infographics, or short keywords to reinforce your message.
– Avoid overly complex charts or distracting animations.
– Ensure all content is original and properly cites any referenced sources.
– Maintain professional conduct, showing respect to fellow presenters and the audience.
– Dress according to the Summit’s formal or professional dress code.
– Arrive at the venue at least 15–30 minutes before your scheduled session.
– Prepare for potential follow-up questions after your pitch.
– Welcome constructive feedback to refine future presentations.
– Actively participate in Summit networking activities to expand collaboration opportunities.
